As many here will already know, the British government has moved to ban NBOMe psychedelic drugs as of Monday June 10th. I thought this brought a nice opportunity to call for the law on Psilocybin mushrooms to be re-examined.

*edit, link removed, petition failed, everyone very surprised* Total lack of support.

The body of my petition is thus -

On the day that your government has chosen to produce another TCDO against a range of Novel Psychoactive Substances, I would like to petition you to reconsider the legal restrictions against psilocybin mushrooms, on the following grounds.

1) These naturally occuring psychedelic intoxicants rarely cause lasting harm to individual users and often bring great relief from illness or the stresses of everyday life.

2) Seeking the effects brought by the above illegal drug by using uncontrolled NPS's such as the NBOMe' series banned today is much more dangerous and that government legislation will continue to conflict with demand until the laws against well researched and ultimately less dangerous drugs are repealed.

If any British citizens in PD agree with me, please add your signature. We're not expecting to change anything overnight, we're not expecting to be heard. What we HOPE for is to increase discussion & debate on the drugs issue & to promote safer use of drugs, particularly known, classic psychedelic drugs such as psilocybin that have historically proven efficacy.

I cleared this with mods here, please don't move it back to EADD where there is already a copy!

As well as sigs, I'm looking for advice about how to propogate the petition on the internets. If you are British & you agree with me but you are uncomfortable about giving the government your details in order to sign the petition, perhaps you might help spread the word instead.

I'm setting my sights low. The petition needs 100 000 sigs to force a debate in parliament. I suspect pigs might take flight before this goal is achieved. If I can get 1000 sigs, or ONE percent of that total, I'd consider that a success.

Thanks very much,

!FREE THE FUNGUS!

Go make your own petition extolling that very fact! I think it comes under, "rarely causes harm to individual users". Addiction being harmful, obviously.

^^ Not a problem mate, anyone with a brain coulda related "INGWE" to my real name any time they liked, I've been here over a decade & any serious snooper coulda hacked my ID & IP in 10 secs flat at any point since I joined. :) Anyone with a brain can also see I'm FUCKING RIGHT, aren't I?

Seriously, I got straight people who've never even smoked a cigarette to sign my petition.

I meant to add not to bother telling me I'm wasting my time. I've got plenty of time. Anyone doing so is wasting their own time telling me I'me wasting mine. Just to get that down right now!
 
No need to get shirty dude
The reason i said was they rate a drug by how dangourous it us and how addictive
And shrooms ate neither but good work either way

I shared it on facebook

Thanks man, sorry, I've gotten pretty fed up with being told I'm wasting my time or that I shoulda done this or shoulda done than while at the same time having to scratch about for a smidgen of support. It doesn't dissuade me in the slightest but it most certainly puts my back up.

I'll endevour to keep my humour ;)
 
Any idea how many votes before they even look at it have you posted it on shroomy
And eruo uk forum hete
 
I've got folk posting it in forums that I don't use personally... & at big places like Shroomery or Drugs Forum I'm trying to get known people to post the link, rather than just join up simply to post the link. Won't draw any interest like that...

The petition needs 100 000 sigs to force a debate in parliament! I'll be impressed with 1% of that, to be honest.
 
Thanks very much Pagey :)

Reading through the replies to my repost on 'Topia makes me realize how lucky we are to have a place like Bluelight and open-minded, informed members.

Added a link to the thread I created.

a cracking dbate going there for sure, very good job Re-dist, thanks very much. Signaturs are less important than debate, as far as I'm concerned. & you've stirred up a good one there.
 
I've been getting PM's on 'Topia saying that people are sharing it on more and more forums and their Facebook accounts. The word is most definitely out there now and it's only been 3 days since you posted it here :D
 
Looks like the second high profile author has joined up! Both Graham Hancock of Supernatural fame & Simon G Powel, author of The Psilocybin Solution have both signed & are supporting the petition.

A very kind & honourable RC supplier (I know I know, he's rare beast!) has also thrown his weight behind the petition.

Signatures are still pretty slow, but in about 3 weeks we've already overtaken one of the Legalise Cannabis petitions that's been up 6 months! So any British people who aren't scared of the government & havent yet signed the petition, please feel free to do so.

Thank-you all :)
